I could be...

    Air Force Forage Cap

    My bad I should have been a little clearer, what I meant was the order #3 and forgot to add that the sub orders, less whites allowed for the wear of the beret. so basically what you said.

    Anybody applied to the CEOTP program thus far?

    They're pretty much the same only BOTP has more C#%% and zero instruction lessons (knowledge/skill lesson plan) we do that in phase 2 for the Army types, I will say from a friends perspective, if you go mars and they offer to let you bypass mars II (NETPO) take it, it's bassically OSQAB all over...

    Investigators 'Baffled' by Sea King Engine Fires on March 7 2007

    So is that to say that admin/disciplinary action shouldn't be taken against the next tech that leaves his watch in the engine compartment because his inexperience made him forget to remove it prior to conducting a maint routine. This is a case though where because it happened on 2 different...

    Verification of Former Service (VFS) [Merged]

    I sailed with a guy who left the navy a MS NavSig and came back 1 year later, as a LS NavComm and had to do the 277 Conversion course (amalgamation occurred during the time he was out) granted this is not a 5 year absence but really the systems can't have changed that much for the EW guys.
